Upcoming Release Notes Changes

We’re excited to announce that the release notes are undergoing some additional upcoming changes that will help you keep up with our product team’s latest and greatest! These changes will be effective with the August 4 release.

This video shows some of the highlights coming to the release notes using the Canvas release notes as a demo.

Overall, I think the announced changes are very welcome, and they should definitely provide even more clarity and transparency about the release process. So many thanks for that!

In the light of transparency, I think the change to the release note change log sticks out though: removing it from the page might make it more difficult to keep track of changes.I personally would prefer a more visible place for this information in the release notes, or a way to subscribe to these changes, preferably once for all future release notes.

Due to different time zones, we often read the notes several hours "behind" the US, which means we have less time to ascertain if changes are going to have impact for our users, and we have less time to test these changes. For us, keeping track of changes in the release notes is very important, so I hope we can keep track of these things more easily in the future.
